(fiction)
Book summary - "On an unnamed island off an unnamed coast, objects are disappearing: first hats, then
ribbons, birds, roses—until things become much more serious. Most of the island's inhabitants are oblivious to
these changes, while those few imbued with the power to recall the lost objects live in fear of the draconian
Memory Police, who are committed to ensuring that what has disappeared remains forgotten." (goodreads.com)
